The comeback -- Religion and Knowledge in the Post-Secular Academy -- Crisis and Renewal in Church-Related Higher Education -- The Revitalization of Student Religious Life -- The Wider Significance of Religion on Campus -- The Future of Religion in Higher Education.
The Resilience of Religion in American Higher Education documents a surprising openness to religion in collegiate communities. Schmalzbauer and Mahoney develop this claim in three areas: academic scholarship, church-related higher education, and student life. They highlight growing interest in the study of religion across the disciplines, as well as a willingness to acknowledge the intellectual relevance of religious commitments. The Resilience of Religion in American Higher Education also reveals how church-related colleges are taking their founding traditions more seriously, even as they embrace religious pluralism. Finally, the volume chronicles the diversification of student religious life, revealing the longevity of campus spirituality.
